Estate car service on Öland
The estate car is the family workhorse — child seats, dog crates, building materials, house moves. We service all makes and account for the fact that an estate often carries more than the brochure assumes.
Service
Service to the manufacturer's schedule — oil, filters, brakes, fluids, spark plugs. We handle all makes, stamp the service book and email the protocol. Half a day to a full day depending on the model.
An estate often carries a heavy load — trailer, roof box, three kids and the luggage. Brakes, suspension and drive shafts wear faster than on an empty car. Ask us to check the shocks and brakes at regular service, even if they're not on the list.

We diagnose and repair anything — engine, gearbox, electronics, brakes and suspension. Our diagnostic tool reads all common makes, and we ring with a quote before going ahead with anything costly.
Estates often clock high mileage — commuting, dog runs, summer-house trips. Past 200,000 km, typical items like flywheels, clutch cylinders and rear axle bearings start speaking up. If you drive long distances, listen to the car — it pays off in the long run.

AC service including cleaning, new drier filter, leak detection and refrigerant refill (R134a or R1234yf). A modern AC station that extracts and recharges the exact amount. We measure the result so you know it works.
An estate has a large cabin — the AC works harder than in a small car to cool the whole rear where the kids sit. Lost refrigerant shows up sooner, and running the compressor on an undercharged system damages it.

Tyre change, balancing and storage — summer, winter, studded and friction. Tyre hotel at a fixed seasonal price and new tyres in all common sizes. We help you choose based on load and driving style.
An estate with roof box and trailer needs tyres with the right load index — not just the right size. Too low a load index leads to overheating and sudden failure on the motorway. We always check against the registration document before selling.

Check your tyre load index
An estate with a roof box can go over the per-tyre weight limit. Look at the tyre sidewall (number after the size) and compare to the registration document.

Book service before the holiday
Driving down to Europe with the kids? Drop the car in two weeks before you leave. That gives us time to order parts if anything turns up.

Check underneath after towing
The towbar and rear suspension take a beating with heavy trailers. If you bottomed out on a bump, a shock may be damaged — ask us to check.
- savings
Rotate tyres every other season
On a front-wheel-drive estate the front and rear tyres wear differently. Rotating them makes the set last 30% longer and you pay for four tyres instead of eight.
